Managing groups

The Groups option provides a summary of all groups that are configured on the TIBCO EMS server. 

While Groups lets you administer all aspects of group identity, it is also useful to change both destination and administrative permissions for selected groups on a parameter-by-parameter basis.

Administration permissions control the extent to which members of that group can change aspects of managed TIBCO EMS servers.

Select the Groups option from the Navigation Panel to display the Groups Summary View:

Operations available:

• Copy As New Group: Copies the selected group. You can also create a group, as described below.
• Delete: Delete group.
• Admin Permissions: View and edit administrative rights.
• Destination Permissions: View, edit, create or delete destination permissions for the group. You can also Copy As New Permission and Audit.
• Tag Group: Associate the group with a tag.
• Audit: Lets you view the last related (10) audit log entries and access audit events related to the group, such as a record of changes made previously to the selected group.

To access the selected Group's Properties Editor, click on the Group name.
